Parcheesi is a classic board game that originated in India and is often referred to as the "Royal Game of India." It is played on a cross-and-circle board, where players race their four pawns from their starting area to their home area. The game is typically played by two to four players, who take turns rolling dice to move their pawns along the board. Players can capture opponents' pawns by landing on the same space, sending them back to their starting area. The objective is to be the first player to get all four of their pawns to the home area. Parcheesi combines strategy and luck, making it enjoyable for players of all ages.
